HISAKAZU SUZUKI PROFILE

Hisakazu Suzuki 

Visual Artist & Designer, Director of Spazio Works

    •    Education: Graduated from Tama Art University (Fine Arts) in 1982.

    •    Career: Established Spazio Works as an independent visual artist and designer in 1988.

As an artist, I have installed monuments and sculptures throughout Japan, focusing on the theme of “Nature and Order,” where the environment shapes my artistic style. I have created environmental art, such as transforming a 200-foot smokestack into work that addresses waste issues. My artworks are featured in places like train stations, hospitals, cultural facilities, private residences, and villas. I also create art and commemorative works for large corporations. My work has reached the Imperial Family, with commissions including items for the Imperial House, the championship trophy for the Japan National Soccer Cup (German Cup), and commemorative items for the Ise-Shima Summit.

I have strong ties to Japan’s world-class cultural heritage shrines and temples, actively engaging in recycled art that incorporates ancient materials and festival artifacts. I also create and present items that serve as commemorative gifts or offerings.

In terms of material development, I’m actively working to integrate traditional techniques with modern innovations, creating a unique, personal style.

My individual artworks, center on the overarching theme of “Nature and Order” and have been presented under various sub-themes over the years. Initially, my focus was on intangible concepts such as “shadows” and later “heart,” exploring ideas like “melting,” “giving life,” and “gravity.” More recently, I am pursuing works that reflect “Japanese identity” and “the moon” as central themes.

I specialize in custom-made works and look forward to collaborating with others to bring these creations to life.
